Chapter 1,120 Opportunities for Acquisition

After the Community Shield Cup, Manchester United held a celebration banquet. Owner Glazer and their sons did not come. CEO David Gill expressed his gratitude to the players on behalf of the club. David Gill also specifically praised Gao Xiaodong for his outstanding performance in the game. When it comes to the role of leader, it is the guarantee for Manchester United to win.

David Gill's words are very meaningful. When Gao Xiaodong served as the captain of Manchester United some time ago, many Manchester United players expressed opposition, and Vidic was even preparing to transfer to Real Madrid because of this. Gao Xiaodong's performance was a slap in the face. David Gill naturally wants to clear Gao Xiaodong's name and help Gao Xiaodong consolidate his position in Manchester United.

The big guys who opposed Gao Xiaodong becoming the captain were not fools. They understood it clearly, but no one could refute it. The victory proved that Gao Xiaodong being the captain did not have a negative impact on Manchester United. Manchester United is still the strong Manchester United. Even Even more powerful than before.

After returning home after drinking the celebratory wine, Hou Hou and Xiao Le were still awake. They had just had dinner after returning from watching the award ceremony, and were chatting and waiting for Gao Xiaodong to come back.

Xiao Le made a cup of tea for Gao Xiaodong and Monkey, and said, "Let's talk, I'm going to bed."

Gao Xiaodong smiled and said, "Go to sleep. You don't have to wait for me. Staying up late is bad for your skin, so we'll go to bed right away."

Xiao Le said: "I know."

The monkey said with a smile: "Why are you not so considerate to me?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "With your appearance, it doesn't matter whether your skin is good or bad."

The monkey said: "Why don't you bring someone to bury someone like this? I'm still single, so at least give me some confidence."

Gao Xiaodong looked at Xiao Le's disappearing back, and said slyly: "Monkey, I think you and Sister Xiao Le are about the same age, so let's just make them a couple."

The monkey looked at Gao Xiaodong strangely and found that Gao Xiaodong looked very innocent. He said helplessly: "What nonsense? How could Sister Xiaole fall in love with me?"

Gao Xiaodong looked the monkey up and down and said, "How could it be? Apart from being a bit ugly, you also have a lot of advantages."

The monkey said: "If you don't have a long-lasting face, don't do anything to pull the strings. Sister Xiaole has someone in mind."

Gao Xiaodong was certainly not a fool, and said shamelessly: "You didn't say it was me, did you?"

Monkey said: "Okay, just pretend to be stupid, we can't control that much. I'm the agent, not your parents."

Gao Xiaodong was speechless.

Monkey broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere and said, "How do you feel when you wear the captain's armband and hold the cup today?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "It feels very different. I feel like this is my team."

Monkey smiled and said: "That must be your illusion. This is Glazer's team, and you are just a wage earner."

Gao Xiaodong glared and said, "You kid can't make me happy for a while."

Monkey smiled and said, "Xiaodong, there is a chance to have your own team."

Gao Xiaodong was stunned and said, "What opportunity?"

Monkey said: "Have you heard about the arrest of Yang Jiacheng, the boss of Birmingham, for money laundering?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I heard that, you have nothing to do with me...Do you want me to buy Birmingham? How can I have so much money?"

Monkey said: "Yang Jiacheng's son Ryan came to see me today. He asked if you were interested in running Birmingham together with the Yang family."

Gao Xiaodong said strangely: "I remember this Ryan.

Yang is not very old. "

Monkey said: "Ryan Yang is just 18 years old, but now he is the director of Birmingham. He is a Manchester United fan and admires you very much."

Gao Xiaodong said: "When a child joins the board of directors, Yang Jiacheng is really good at mischief. No wonder Birmingham will be relegated."

Monkey said: "Yang Jiacheng has no choice. He is still on bail and under residential surveillance. He can only ask his son to watch Birmingham for him."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Not to mention whether I can cooperate with Yang Jiacheng, even if I can, I don't have that much money."

Monkey said: "Yang Jiacheng bought the Birmingham club two years ago for 81.51 million pounds, but at that time Birmingham was a Premier League team. Now Birmingham has been downgraded to the English Championship, and the value is estimated to have shrunk by half. In addition, it is a Premier League team. If Yang Jiacheng cooperates, it will be almost 20 million pounds."

£20 million for a Championship club? Gao Xiaodong was a little moved. He could afford the money. The key was that it was worth the investment.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Xiaodong asked Monkey, "Do you think it's worth investing in?"

Although he only came into contact with Yang Jiacheng's son today, Gao Xiaodong still did his homework. He analyzed: "Although Birmingham was relegated, he lost the chance of relegation in the last round, and he can reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup. , the strength is still there.

Head coach McGreese is relatively stable and has experience in leading a team to promotion. By retaining him and the team's main players Zikic, Barry and Bowyer, there is a lot of hope for promotion next year.

Now that Yang Jiacheng is involved in a money laundering case, I think it will be difficult for him to be acquitted. If Yang Jiacheng is imprisoned, his son is only 18 years old and it is impossible to control the club. If you buy half of the shares, you have a very good chance of controlling the club. big.

Finally, the Star of Hope players under Chen Qiang have reached the age to enter professional football. Buying Birmingham can also give the Star of Hope players a place to stay. "

Monkey's last reason moved Gao Xiaodong, "Monkey, when you say it, it sounds like this is a business that only makes money but does not lose money."

Monkey smiled and said: "How can there be such a good thing? The risk is not small. Buying the shares is just an initial investment. If you don't invest money in the later period, your results will be poor. If you are downgraded, your money will be wasted. "

Gao Xiaodong said: "This is just what Yang Jiacheng meant. What do the British managers in Birmingham think? Are they willing for us to acquire it?"

Monkey said: "This should be nothing. They can all agree to sell it to Yang Jiacheng. It doesn't matter if there is another Chinese boss. Besides, if you buy it, they will not want it. How much fame and investment opportunities will you bring to Birmingham." "

Gao Xiaodong said: "This is just our guess. I think you should contact Chairman Birmingham... call him Peter or something, and get in touch to hear his thoughts."

Monkey said: "Peter Pannu is the acting chairman. If you are interested, I will contact him tomorrow."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Of course I mean it. I happen to have some money on hand. It's idle anyway, and I don't get much interest if I deposit it in the bank. It would be nice to buy a club for fun."

The monkey said: "Then after I contact Peter Pannu, I will discuss it with the two big brothers Chen Qiang and Zhang Qi, and then come up with a plan for you."

plan? Gao Xiaodong nodded and said: "Okay, I learned from Mendes in vain. I am playing more and more formally. Monkey, the Premier League is about to start, and the national team games will also start soon. I don't have that much." Energy, I leave this matter to you, you have to do it well, this requires investing my entire family."

This is the first time for such a large asset acquisition. Monkey also looked serious and said: "Xiaodong, I will do my best."

Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, let's rest, it's getting late."
